Abstract: This paper presents the results of a three-dimensional (3D) finite-element study that investigated the effect of the multipresence factor of the load-reduction factors used in the AASHTO Bridge Design Specifications. Typical ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a parametric study related to the wheel load distribution in one-span, simply supported, multilane, reinforced concrete slab bridges. The finite-element method was used to investigate the ...

Abstract: The effect of a skew angle on simple-span reinforced concrete bridges is presented in this paper using the finite-element method. The parameters investigated in this analytical study were the span length, slab width, and ...
